Let’s see what’s behind the second Advent calendar door:
It’s a fox! But not your usual but a ‘recycled’ one: Our self-publisher and artist Danielle Vaughan has put together a whole Animals in Ripped Paper Art calendar featuring wildlife and birds that she created using recycled, ripped papers. Given our German and hence very eco-friendly background, we’re obviously loving this idea!
Hooray, it’s that time of the year again: 1 December, start of the Advent season! Which also means that today we’re launching our very special Calvendo Advent calendar, opening one door every day until Christmas to reveal great images and, of course, calendars. Make sure not to miss our creative treats for you! You’ll meet a lot of our fab self-publishers along the way and maybe even find some inspiration for a unique Christmas gift ….
So, opening door number one and we’re saying hello to this lovely little lamb (look at its face!), featured in Andrew Kearton’s Animals in the Countryside calendar. A great one if you enjoy the countryside and animals. Obviously 🙂
Elisabeth Cölfen: Frohe Weihnachten – Merry Christmas!
We’re interrupting you on a busy day, we know. Last minute shopping, wrapping presents, preparing the Christmas feast. So, we’ll try to keep it brief because basically we’d just like to wish you a – surprise, surprise – very happy Christmas.
This has been a special year for Calvendo because, together with you, our calendar and poster book self-publishing platform has taken some big steps, from our base in Germany to international markets with our launches in the UK and France. We’re delighted about many new self-publishers and our ever growing product gallery. We know that there have been hiccups on the way, and we very much appreciate your patience on the occasions when things didn’t run as smoothly as they should have.
International expansions is quite a task, not least because of the many new partners in different countries that we now collaborate with. Rest assured that the Calvendo team will work very hard next year on improving procedures and optimise what we’ve established so far. It’s our aim to provide the best possible service for our self-publishers plus deliver high quality products to consumers.
Hang on, we wanted to keep this brief, didn’t we … So, time to wrap up and extend a big thank you to everyone who’s come on board with us this year and to all our partners – we’re looking forward to an exciting 2015 with you!
Have a very joyful Christmas and happy New Year,
best wishes from
Your CALVENDO Team
